Additionally, a toilet on the landing and a laundry room conveniently located at the entrance level complete this floor.

On the mezzanine level, there is an office fitted with a sofa bed, which has the potential to be converted into an extra bedroom if necessary. A trap door with folding stairs provides access to the attic. Ascending upstairs, you'll find a WC on the landing that services three double bedrooms, one of which features a fireplace (currently not in use), a spacious bathroom, and a dressing room/storage area.

Outdoor Features and Amenities

Stepping outside, adjacent to the small library balcony, a door leads to a stunning vaulted wine cellar. Also adjoining the living quarters is a former barn converted into a garage, characterized by its impressive roof height. On the opposite side of the property, there is an old henhouse, a wood shed, and a well, which remains unused but is sustained by the same spring as the former washhouse that adjoins the property. This well could be restored for use during dry periods. There is ample space for parking several vehicles along the driveway at the front of the property. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating, with double glazing on the north-facing windows and single glazing on the south.

Location and Surroundings

This property is situated along an alley parallel to the D973, conveniently positioned between the Roman town of Autun and the gateway to the Morvan regional park on one side, and the renowned Burgundy vineyards extending towards Beaune on the other. The front façade faces north, while the gravelled backyard faces south, accessible from the kitchen, making it perfect for hosting large gatherings. It is also an idyllic space for private sunbathing, enjoying morning breakfasts, or hosting summer lunches in a serene environment. The 7100 m² park is beautifully planted with trees, offering shade and coolness during the summer months. The hamlet is tranquil and surrounded by greenery. Ideally located, it is equidistant from Autun (for shopping and amenities) and Epinac (for local shops), making it perfect as a main or secondary residence for a large family.
